			<description>This deserves it's own thread....



But Kim Jong Il in his younger days enjoyed an international reputation as a playboy, surrounding himself in his &quot;Joy Brigade&quot; with hand-picked young women who were given the job of keeping the heir to the North Korean leadership happy. 

 

Kim Jong Il's unrestricted sexual behavior was highly contagious, and he surrounded himself with members of the Party elite, who also boasted about their drinking and womanizing, North Korean analysts and defectors  ...</description>

			<description>Castro has emerged from his hut. He pointed a finger at the U.S., rather than North Korea, for sinking the South Korean ship that killed 46 sailors this spring. Our motivation, according to Castro? To stir up controversy in the region.

&quot;The President said housing came first in the development of Pyongyang and proposed the introduction of the prefabricated construction method, a new technology in those days. 



Thanks to the new method, the builders assembled a flat within 14 minutes, thus building 20 000 flats in a year. And this is how “Pyongyang speed” came into being.

North Korea cracks down on women's pants 



(AFP) – Jul 23, 2009

North Korean women face hard labor if they are caught wearing trousers rather than skirts, under the communist regime's latest crackdown on public morals, South Korean activists said Friday.





Offenders can be punished with hours of forced labor or fines of 700 won, almost a week's salary for the average worker, human rights group Good Friends  ...</description>

Two US journalists of Korean descent and their guide have been detained by North Korean border guards close to the frontier with China, South Korean media reports have said.



It is believed that the two women journalists, working for a California-based online news company Current TV, were on the China side of the Yalu river, which forms border with North Korea, when they were arrested.

I've read about this before, women not allowed to drive in North Korea.  

So ... the Traffic Ladies can DIRECT traffic, but since they are women they will never be permitted to DRIVE a car.    



The article went with humor at the end of the post:It happened in the land of the Dear Leader, North Korea:

11 Craziest Kim Jong-Il Moments (with links)



 1. Kim plans to solve North Korea's famine by breeding giant rabbits. This is my all-time favorite Kim Jong-Il story. In 2006, Kim finds out that there's a guy in Germany who breeds giant rabbits. Seriously huge rabbits. Like, rabbits the size of dogs.



And Kim just becomes enamored of these, to the point where he decides that giant rabbits will be the solution to his country's widespread hunger problems.



Not Photoshopped. This is Szmolinsy  ...</description>

1. You can’t turn off the government radio installed in your home, only reduce the volume.



2. Idolatry in North Korea is such that it is second-nature for ordinary citizens to “rescue” portraits of Kim Il Sung before all else in the case of a house fire (there are even special bunkers for statues in case of war)



3. Many people don’t even know that man has walked on the moon.



4. There is no Internet, cell-phones have been banned.
